Table S2 Results of the ANOVA analyses (F-values) for the
effects of shrub type (ST), shrub encroachment (SE), and their
interaction (ST × SE) on the individual ecosystem functions in the
semi-arid alpine grasslands. Cover, vegetation cover; Height, plant
height; SR, species richness; AGB, aboveground biomass; BGB, belowground
biomass; SW, soil water content; SOC, soil organic carbon content; STN,
soil total nitrogen content; MBC, soil microbial biomass carbon; MBN,
soil microbial biomass nitrogen;
NH4+−N, soil ammonia nitrogen;
NO3−−N, soil nitrate nitrogen. *,p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p< 0.001.
